"Yale opened so many doors for me. I want to hold those doors open for the next generation," says nursing pioneer Mary Lee Mantz. Her charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trust will grow the School of Nursing's financial aid endowment.

"I want my gifts to send a message to students and faculty that the work they do is important," says Jim Goetz, who made a bequest at his fortieth reunion. "What better way to pay back YLS for what it has given to me?"

Yale gave Barry Bardo a chance to blaze his own path by studying the history of science, a major that did not yet exist, which helped Barry pursue a successful career. The Bardos' bequest will create an endowment to support that same major.
